“…These models are the tumor, head, cerebellum, brainstem, vertebral basilar artery with its branches, superior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus, and jugular vein, respectively. In addition, the posterior fossa dural model was constructed according to a previously published 3D‐modeling method 8 . Except for the skull model that used the head CT as the guided image, the other models of the whole head and of each structure used the head MRI as the guided image.…”

The goal of the article shows a new technique to provide three‐dimensional (3D) atlas to be used for a preoperative planning for safe resection of jugular‐foramen tumor. A surgical‐planning drawing was created based on the test results to provide precise guidance to neurosurgeons. Using magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans of the head as guide images, we generated a 3D surgical atlas. We first read the MRI and CT data into Mimics 10.0 (Materialize, Leuven, Belgium) and matched the orientation of the imaging with the actual head position. Anatomical structures captured on the scans were segmented into target areas, and then reconstructed using segmentation and model‐building tools. All 3D models were imported into 3ds Max11.0 (Autodesk, Inc., The United States) to generate a surgical atlas. We used the 3D atlas for surgical simulation to identify the optimal surgical approach, and then prepared a surgical drawing for surgery. The atlas was created using scans of one patient. We generated a 3D digital atlas of anatomical structures of the jugular‐foramen region for visualization, manipulation, and interaction in a virtual 3D environment and prepared a surgical drawing for jugular‐foramen tumors. The 3D atlas contained MRI information. In 3D atlas, a mouse can be used to actively interact with the model by manipulating viewer orientation, changing model transparency, matching 2D image with 3D reconstructions, removing or adding structures sequentially to show complex anatomical pathways or relationships. The atlas could be subjected to surgical simulation. We create a 3D atlas and surgical planning drawing of a jugular foramen tumor. The 3D surgical‐planning atlas may provide precise guidance for surgical operations.

“…Hence, any error in the surgeon's 3D imaginative could lead to devastating consequences. Fortunately, 3D atlases are an ideal way to overcome this limitation 7–10 . There is very little literature of studies using 3D atlas to find the safe surgical approach to this area.…”

“…Cranial dura mater, also known as the pachymeninx, is influenced by hormone level and changes its cellular constitution during metabolic fluctuations (animal model) (Figure 1) [8]. The outermost layer of the dura mater becomes continuous with the cranial periosteum presenting a strong adhesion to the base of the cranium and the foramen magnum, while the innermost layer communicates with the spinal dural system [9]. The internal dural folds originate reciprocal tension membranes: the falx cerebri; the tentorium cerebelli; the falx cerebelli; the diaphragm sellae [9].…”

The tentorium cerebelli is an integral part of the reciprocal tension membranes that divide some brain areas: the falx cerebri, the falx cerebelli, and the diaphragma sellae. The article is divided into two parts. The first part reviews the anatomy of the tentorium cerebelli, the dura mater, and the ligaments and cervical muscles connected to the tentorium. The tentorial area may be subject to trauma or surgery and knowledge of anatomy and existing relationships is essential to better understand the clinical picture. The second part reviews the systemic relationships of the tentorium cerebelli. The neurological anatomical information, which links the tentorium to the central and peripheral nervous systems, venous brain drainage. The tentorium is not just a body segment, but a systemic communication tool.

“… 13 Populated by nerves and blood vessels, the outer endosteal layer serves as the periosteum and is thought to be a source of osteoprogenitors in the calvaria that contribute to bone healing initiation, 3 , 14 – 18 while the inner meningeal layer forms the cerebral falx, sellar diaphragm, and tentorium. 13 , 19 , 20 Previous studies have demonstrated that the dura mater retains the capacity to form bone or bone nodules in calvarial defects. 3 , 21 In animal studies in which the dura mater was resected together with the overlying calvarial bone, or excluded by a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, the defect was replaced by fibrous tissue with no bone island formation or significantly less bone formation.…”

Vertical osteoconductivity of sputtered hydroxyapatite-coated mini titanium implants after dura mater elevation: Rabbit calvarial model

et al. 2015

This study evaluated the quantity and quality of newly formed vertical bone induced by sputtered hydroxyapatite-coated titanium implants compared with sandblasted acid-etched implants after dura mater elevation. Hydroxyapatite-coated and non-coated implants (n = 20/group) were used and divided equally into two groups. All implants were randomly placed into rabbit calvarial bone (four implants for each animal) emerging from the inferior cortical layer, displacing the dura mater 3 mm below the original bone. Animals were sacrificed at 4 (n = 5) and 8 (n = 5) weeks post-surgery. Vertical bone height and area were analyzed histologically and radiographically below the original bone. Vertical bone formation was observed in both groups. At 4 and 8 weeks, vertical bone height reached a significantly higher level in the hydroxyapatite compared with the non-coated group (p < 0.05). Vertical bone area was significantly larger in the hydroxyapatite compared with the non-coated group at 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.05). This study indicates that vertical bone formation can be induced by dura mater elevation and sputtered hydroxyapatite coating can enhance vertical bone formation.
